you set my heart ablaze
you play it cool the same way I do
never thought I would ever find
Someone that understands me
knows how to read my language
our connection needs no speaking
To make me feel so good inside
you light up my world babe
shining so bright don't try to hide
you're all that I want
What do you want
tell me right now baby
what do you want
we don't have forever
If what you want is everything, I'm everything you want

Loved how it starts with Justin's Rhodes break from Outlier (another Justin song). Cool little detail to throw in there.
